Ramadan KareemThu 18 (on or around)The Islamic Holy Month of fasting (sawm), one of the five pillars of Islam, is upon us. This means as soon as the sun comes up, fasters cannot eat, drink, smoke or chew gum until iftar – the moment the sun goes down. The first day of Ramadan here is called by the moon-sighting committee in Saudi Arabia the night before, as the first day coincides with the new moon.
